This is the story of how we begin to remember...
this is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein.

Old Mr. Rector had a farm...

Today John went to the farm!  The weather was great so we took full advantage.

There were baby pigs born over the weekend, and John saw them when they were only a few hours old.  He loved to stand by their little box and pat them.  Unfortunately, we forgot our camera that day, but when we went to see them again today we took some pictures!  The pictures aren't amazing because the heat lamp makes everything look red and blurry.

Daniel sat John down with the pigs in their new and bigger box.  They were VERY interested in John.


John tried to pet them but they were not so interested in that...


Daniel picked up a pig for John to pat.  John was very gentle.


"Hi Dad!"


He's waving...  He waved at the pigs a lot and me a little.


Pretty darn excited!


Daniel picked up a little girl pig named "Happy" for John to pet.


John wanted to taste her.


John got to hold Happy all by himself!!!  


John was THRILLED to hold Happy.  Happy was not happy.  

Then we took a walk out to see the other baby pigs.  There is a total of 45 baby pigs!  All born within a few days of each other.

This is the pig that tried to kill me a few years ago.


John loved watching the babies!


"Pinky" and one of her babies.


I love their stripes!


John wonders why piglets get 14 nipples and he gets only two.


Hi cow!  Cassidy came in to say hello.


Pig nose!


Jackson and John meet... all three of my boys!  


John loves Toast!
John even got his first horse ride today.  He thought it was great.

Nesting...

John has recently enjoyed playing with the laundry.  He will take it out of a pile, out of a basket, out of a hamper, and off the drying rack.  He moves it around, arranges it into a nest, lays on it, buries his face in it, licks it, sucks on it... he just can't get enough!!!  He loves his nests.

Taste it...


Smile, John-boy!


Sniff it...


Is your nest comfy, John?


Rearrange it...


Taste your comfy pants...


Rest.


Work!


:-)


Yummy?



VERY proud of himself!!!
